Yolanda was an amazing cook and interior decorator. She made every meal special and very savory. All the family meals were well attended, and she was an amazing hostess. Everyone felt welcomed, loved, and would leave with a full stomach. She also was an avid gardener. She absolutely had a green thumb.
